The gang’s all here for
Grown Ups 2, Adam Sandler’s latest lowbrow make-work project for all the ex-jocks,
jock-casters, has-beens and other hangers-on he keeps on his payroll.

It’s another pointless romp through Sandler-land — where the women are buxom, the kids have
catchphrases and the jokes are below average.

In the sequel to the hit
Grown Ups, our Hollywood pal Lenny Feder (Sandler), his wife (Salma Hayek) and their brood
have moved back to his hometown. That’s where childhood pal Eric (Kevin James) runs a body shop,
Kurt (Chris Rock) is a cable guy, and Marcus (David Spade) has just learned he’s a deadbeat
dad.

Apparently, Rob Schneider was too busy to do the sequel.

The movie follows these clowns through a long day — the last day of school for their kids — as
they reminisce at Kmart (where Tim Meadows ended up), feud with frat boys (Taylor Lautner is their
martial arts-mad leader) and find other ways to not quite grow up by throwing an ’80s-themed
party.The jokes? Broad variations of “the dozens” — guys giving each other the business in
elaborate, limp insults. Spade is “Betty White” because he’s old and his hair is a wreck; Rock is “
skinny Danny Glover”; James is “Crocodile Dumb-BEE”; and Nick Swardson does his human-punching-bag
shtick.
